Book Reviews of Architecture of Poland

Book Review: Excellent source of artistic movements in Poland
Summary: 5 Stars

Mr.Knox presents the historical and factual background as to when/why/how Poland successfully entered into the period movements of the West. Usually unknown or ignored by scholars, the wealth of Poland is shown in its architectural expression over the years. Pictures, diagrams and blueprints highlight the author's presentation; and reference to the Polish Nation's historical tragedies exhibit the will of a people to build, create and express themselves in the face of adversity. The author divides the present country into geographic areas in order to orderly present his material. Over 200 pictures are utilized. The only drawback is the failure of a greater recognition to thousands of architectural monuments on the lands of Pre-War Poland - now within the countries of the former USSR.
